Volume One, Chapter 26: Protagonist, Run—Your Mother Surely Can't Run Too

A man dressed predominantly in red spoke to himself as he blocked Outinus’s path.

When Yun Xi inquired, Ada directly explained, “The power on the path of transcendence involves a very peculiar substance. Because of this substance’s presence, very few can shatter space within it—so few that it is nearly impossible.”

He seemed to have four or five silver notes on him, each apparently worth a thousand taels. When he reached in, he realized only two remained. Still, he pulled out one and laid it before Aunt Lilac.

Though filled with hatred, he almost forgot the cruel torment inflicted upon him, his heart instead consumed by deep worry for his only grandson.

The boy likely never imagined that Ji Lingsheng was not what he seemed and constantly harbored murderous intent toward that immortal. Had it not been for Yue Ziming’s superior cultivation, blood would have flowed freely during yesterday’s inner chamber encounter.

Indeed, trouble and danger clung to him ceaselessly. Though Situ Xiang had made no move, Qin Yang grew even more vigilant, knowing her strike would be fierce.

There were few tasks on the Leopard Cat’s side—only an escort mission and a bandit suppression task these days.

The one-eyed old fisherman had not had a drop of water for two days. Why had he suddenly brought a pot of water?

Leopard Cat dared not appear before Jun Youning, but as long as Jun Youning was absent, she was unwilling to remain hidden in the sand indefinitely.

Here, winter was bone-chillingly cold even under brilliant sunlight. After the brief spring arrived that year, many vanished, leaving behind echoes of fractured fear and pain.

Snowflakes swirled all around, yet strangely, not a single flake fell upon this temple’s structures.

Zhou Jiajia, who had clearly studied the handsome, high-achieving transfer student, instantly recognized Liu Hua.

Just as Lin Ye was about to enter their attack range, the incubation progress bar in Lin Ye’s eyes reached one hundred percent.

“You’re quite arrogant.” Seeing Sun Chengzong’s demeanor, Li Wei’s anger flared. Coupled with the earlier heavy losses, and now the chance to defeat the enemy’s commander to reverse the tide, she did not hesitate to act decisively.

In her heart, she told herself these words intertwined her own story with Lin Yinshu’s, so they were not entirely false. Subconsciously, she did not want him to think she was exploiting or pleading with him, even though that was exactly the case.

The older women gathered at the commotion. One saw Han Lei trembling as Old Wang grabbed him and quickly urged Old Wang to calm down.

The three waited silently, feeling countless eyes watching them. After a moment, they were swept away by a streak of blood light, carried up to the inverted Black Mountain.

“Heh, I told you I wanted to be a pilot, didn’t I? You didn’t believe me back then, right?” I said with a smile.

The 5,000-strong vanguard of the Jizhou army hadn’t expected to encounter the Le’an army here. After a brief moment of distraction, under their vanguard officer’s command, they advanced toward the Le’an forces. Once within archery range, they halted and engaged with arrows.

As the “Tribulation Phase” gaze landed on Wang Mu’s face, Ling Lan’s eyes filled with shock. In just two days, he had advanced directly from the mid-out-of-body stage to the Tribulation Phase. Such terrifying speed.

“Ye Tianming, do you think my friend Zhao Xiaolin is easy to bully, or that I am easy to bully?!” Seeing his move, Zhao Xiaolin’s expression tightened. Filled with anger, she raised her hand and struck at Ye Tianming’s wrist. He easily dodged but was inwardly stunned.

“Uncle, please help us call an ambulance!” Tao Ran smiled. His phone was in the car, but when he got out, he found it smashed to pieces. Now he could only ask those nearby for help.

Yulinglong never imagined that today would be the most remarkable day of her life—within a single day, she experienced immense joy and sorrow, great ups and downs. How could it not be extraordinary? Fortunately, her mental resilience was strong; otherwise, she might have already lost her mind.

Chang Gexing brushed the dust from his knees. In this era where people were constantly expected to kneel in respect, he truly felt somewhat unaccustomed.

“Smack!” Qian Duoduo slapped the subordinate’s forehead hard, narrowing her eyes in a glare.

“I understand.” Cang Jiuyue did not stop walking. She approached Rui Xu and took the child from the wet nurse’s arms.

Chang Gexing sifted through various exam questions in his mind. Thanks to the sea of exercises from his past life, though many years had passed, he still retained some impressions of these problems.

By Mirror Lake, Elder Qing Tian Tai Shang remained in his fishing posture, half-reclined in a lounge chair with eyes closed, fishing for a fish that would never be caught.

That Ninth Prince, though qualified to be the Sovereign Lord of the State, would see the Fengxi Kingdom collapse a century after his reign.

Like other state-owned enterprises, nowadays any capable factory handled all kinds of businesses.

Everyone watched the show: Tai Shang, Zihong, Yunmeng, Fengdu, Yaoshen Gorge, Ming Cang, Jinxiu Mountains and Rivers, the Yiqi Dao Alliance... too many. Kunlun today shone like a brilliant pearl illuminating the entire great era, with a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools contending.

Like a lightbulb veiled by cloth, except this light source was shaped like a lightning bolt.

Jun Yixiao spoke again: “6.5 billion!” The increase was less than before, faint hesitation and difficulty apparent.

“We have no money at home. Isn’t all the money on you?” Ge Qiuping’s tone remained as usual, calm and unruffled.
